School Trips to France
For UK pupils, school trips to France are a rite of passage. Whether it’s a simple day-trip to the Opal Coast, a D-Day-themed discovery tour of Normandy, or an end-of-year treat to Disneyland Paris®, there are myriad opportunities to immerse young minds in French language, history, and culture.
And the most visited country in the world is just a short ferry ride across, or train journey beneath, la Manche.
